As I know ,aesni is support after openssl 1.0.1? it is not an engine, and no 
kernel module need. It will be enable automatically when you use evp api.

Subject: How can I enable aes-ni in openssl on Linux

I recently became aware of aes-ni and found the linked articles.  My CPU 
supports this, but it seems (assuming the advice in the linked pages is 
accurate) that openssl does not have it enabled.  What am I missing?  I am 
running Arch Linux x86_64 and an using the repo provided package for openssl.

% openssl engine
(rsax) RSAX engine support
(rdrand) Intel RDRAND engine
(dynamic) Dynamic engine loading support
